Orthomolecular medicine
The therapy principle of orthomolecular medicine is based on the realisation that the human body needs vitamins, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids in the correct amount and concentration for health and protection.Orthomolecular medicine uses exclusively substances which occur naturally both in our diet and in our bodies. The individual's vital substance status depends on a variety of external und internal factors, e.g. diet and life-style, age, state of health and environmental influences.
These factors have such an effect on our daily requirement of vital substances that providing sufficient vitamins and minerals is rarely possible even with a varied healthy diet. Gaps in our daily requirement are almost inevitable.
Do NOT start self-supplementation-programmes. ALWAYS see a nutritionist or orthomolecular specialist AND talk to the qualified staff of a good health food shop.
